As dermatologists, we are unique in our ability to diagnose and treat diseases that present in the skin. This includes special expertise in the core disciplines of medical dermatology, pediatric dermatology, dermatologic surgery, and dermatopathology. Just as individual dermatologists strive to remain on the forefront of advances in our field, dermatology residency programs have an obligation to ensure that residents demonstrate competence in all facets of our field, and in the United States the American Board of Dermatology is moving toward a modular examination format to help assure the public that their dermatologist is truly an expert in all aspects of diagnosis and treatment of skin disease. This contribution focuses on key advances in our field, how our societies help us to remain on the cutting edge of science, and how dermatology training has kept pace.
作为皮肤科医生，我们在诊断和治疗皮肤疾病方面具有独特的能力。这包括在医学皮肤病学、儿科皮肤病学、皮肤科手术和皮肤病理学等核心学科方面的专业知识。就像个别皮肤科医生努力保持在我们领域的前沿一样，皮肤科住院医师培训计划有责任确保住院医师在我们领域的各个方面都表现出能力，并且在美国，皮肤病学委员会正在朝着模块化考试模式发展，以帮助确保公众他们的皮肤科医生确实是皮肤疾病诊断和治疗各个方面的专家。本贡献重点介绍了我们领域的主要进展，我们的学会如何帮助我们保持在科学的前沿，以及皮肤科培训是如何跟上步伐的。
